Nigeria, March 3 -- Ned Nwoko's allegation against Delta governor

Delta North senator Ned Nwoko said last Sunday he rejected a Land Cruiser SUV and a N10 million monthly offer from Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State.

Mr Nwoko, who recently defected from Nigeria's main opposition PDP to the ruling APC, said he declined the offer because the money belongs to the people of the oil-rich state.

"I don't want to answer a senator for the sake of it. That is why I was angry with the Delta governor when he wanted to give me a land cruiser and a monthly N10 million," the senator said, adding that the state government would have used it to attack him if he had accepted the offer.
